i have a 2012 dodge charger srt8 with a steering pump similar to the one shown in video. The o-ring seal where the reservoir connects to the pump broke causing a major leak.....i took the pump off and apart.....replaced all the seals....reassembled (i took notes and pics) i filled with ATF-4 as requested......I turned the wheel back and fourth over 100 times.....i put a vacuum on the reservoir while turning side to side....i just cant get power steering at idle....when accelerating power sterring works fine.....has a constant whinning.....I never had any issue with the power steering before. I took the pump off a 2nd time....reassembled....same issue. Any idea what could be causing this? Something I'm overlooking? I just ordered a ref Mopar p/s pump from rockauto.....Im thinking my pump is fine and maybe the r/p is bad......but Ive never had an issue ever with it......could there be a pocket of air......no leaks anywhere and i put the steering through hell on a mountain pass trying to break something but it kept going and going.......just loud whinning and no power steering at idle.....I have nerve damage in my forearms so I cant deal with this much longer......any advice or ideas would ve greatly greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance.@speedkar99
Glad you made this six years ago. Best video I've seen on how a mechanical device works. Taking my ASEs and this explains it so much better than any book. Thanks! Much love!
This is an ingenious idea that they came up with. They knew that Blade / Fan Type wouldn't work, so rotating " Vanes " would be a better option and longer lasting :D.
+Jordan Bronson it is quite interesting, in that it differs from an oil pump (tranny and engine), the vanes here adjust to wear as they grind down so it lasts long.
Your ways of opening things & supported by relevant knowledge of how these stuff works, makes your videos better.. Keep it up buddy & destroy more of your brother's clothes. .... Nicely explained......
That show and tell was quite impressive and you obviously have done this before~!! I have never seen such control of The English Language and you should be very proud of your ability. Thanks for the lesson.
THANKS DUDE,,, . I HAVE A 1978 BUICK SKYLARK ,, THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS LEAKING A SMALL AMOUNT JUST TO DRIVE ME CRAZY I HAVE TO FILL THE PUMP EVERY WEEK THE FLUID RUNS LOW ON ADD .. I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT DOES (THAT SPRING) WITH THAT SMALL PEICE OF RUBBER DO ??? ITS THE COVER FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP... I ALL READY CHANGED THE POWER STEERING ARM,, THREE MONTHS AGO, NOW THIS.. I NEED HELP ..I KNOW WHEN THE POWER STEERING FLUID GET WARM OR HOT IT FLOWS UP .. I NEED SOME HELP , OR CHANGE THIS TOOO. THANKS..
+cesar nunez Both can work, it depends how much time you have and if you need any special tools to take things apart (like a press for bearings for example)
Yea! Speedkar is always making proper use of his bro's toothbrush and underwear in video form! But.. when was the last time you've seen his bro actually brush his teeth or even wear underwear? Hah nevar!
Wow, no one is commenting on your great sense of humor?! Invisible sprng, brothers sock? C'mon people, this man was a hoot to watch work!! Also, from another man who works on his own diesel truck in the snow, I feel your pain! Just living where we live makes us harder than many 👌🏻keep truckin' buddy.
Yeah spot on, i subbed. Meanwhile ive just stripped my pump and its exactly the same except no parts went invisible.....yet. i only took the bus in to get the steering belt adjusted cos i was too lazy to crawl under it. The garage managed to snap the steel high pressure line off, they welded it back on n now my powersteering doesnt work....welcome to thailand!
Thank you for the informative video. I can now guess what is wrong with the power steering pump. Unfortunately getting rebuild parts for the pump is difficult. If i dont have to submit a core i will disassemble and play. Once again, thank you.
after your video , i knew that i had right when i tought that is very important to have ps fluid as clean as possible-there are many surfaces that are in direct touch and slip one to other and if fluid is dirt it acts as sandpaper
Thanks a lot for all your great videos Buddy :-) I am interested in fixing my own car and your videos intrigued me a lot compared to other videos out there on the same subject. you rock :)
I opened one of my Pathfinder and I didn't know what to do next so I just changed it with another one🥺 thanks for the video.? Another pump gone in a scrap
Would like to have you go over what usually goes wrong with them? Seems like a lot of things could go wrong if those two little holes got plugged up with debris. Now you've got an issue! I have little black pieces of rubber in my reservoir screen. Where do you think that's coming from?
I hope that wasn't your brothers sock that was used to wipe up other fluids. HA HA HA. Serious though, thanks for this video. Now I know what is inside, and how it works!
Great informative video sir. Thank you for your time! If i could suggest maybe slowing it down a little bit in the future. It could just be me as a newbie to this but It was a lot of information very quickly. Again, great vid. Have an awesome day!
Is the relief valve adjustable? Do you know generally how much psi or bar are most power steering rated for? I am thinking to use one to build a mini excavator.
I did tighten 1/2 turn the release valve securing screw to compress a little more the release valve spring. The steering it's lighter now but I wonder if it can damage something? Will there be overpressure when the steering is turned to lock on either side?
Great video. Is there an explanation why when turning your steering wheel (when engine is off and wheels jacked off the ground) why the power steering fluid can be drained?
Good job. I have an ml55 amg 2000 I need to top off the fluid. After putting the seafoam trans tune in. Can any any power fluid be used? I don't want to spend the money on CHF 11S. I just need a little. Can I use prestone... .european?
If you take the cap off the reservoir while the car is running. Shouldn't the power steering fluid be circulating or something. Mine, or my friends fluid is just sitting there like a lake on a calm day. Oh yeah. Just asking for a friend
Great video 👍 do you know what the different steering pump pressures are all about? There are different options for my car, from 120 bar to 131 bar, is the lower the number the heavier the steering? I need heavier steering ✌
More pressure means more boost. On Camry for example, the SE pump has a different flow control valve than the LE/XLE models for different steering tuning.
Great video! Question You mentioned there was a calibrated Spring But determines the flow Is there a way to modify this mechanism to get more power steering
Excellent pace and editing, clearly explained and illustrated. Props to you sir! My wife’s Kia uses a hydraulic assist rack. Presently the steering wheel “wobbles” slightly at about 2 hertz when returning the wheel to center. It’s noticeably better at COLD ambient temps below -15C. It is NOT related to the vehicle speed. No accidents contributed; it gradually appeared over a year. PS Fluid drained/replaced twice with Lucas PS conditioner. U-Joints between steering wheel and rack have been lubricated. Any ideas? Thanks in advance ... and kudos again for your valuable contributions to the DIY community!
+TomNelsoninCowtown thanks I'm glad you appreciate my work. If your rotary valve is leaking it could cause the wobble, otherwise check steering rack bushings and tires.
Pumps keep failing on my vehicle.. I'll put in a new one, it'll work a while and fail. Right now i'm getting a groaning noise when I lock. One possibility I keep coming across is the pump may be worn. What exactly does that mean? Inside looks good, fluid is full, no bubbles, no leaks. How does a pump just wear out?
Thank you so much! Amazing that human beings are able to develop such a complex yet simple way to help with turning wheels. Yet, we believe that the incredibly way more complex human body happened by chance. Anyways, thank you so much for this video and you really cracked me up when you said I'll wipe this off with my brother's sock! 😂
thank you for video, i just asked myself what kind of pump is for steering wheel, but i have some doubt: i think that bypass valve in pump is only for safety to prevent overpressure, i think that when engine is working and steering wheel is not turning, oil does not bypass inside pump, it flows freely through rack and back to pump, if all oil is bypassed in pump , then would not be difference in pump load between situation when steering wheel turns and not turns- it can be noticed by noise of pump and engine that in first moment slowes down and then it speeds up to keep same rpm and it is different depends of speed of steering wheel rotating, i think that main idle/ bypass valve is in rack and if steering wheel is rotating it allows oil to enter into working space of rack, if is not move, oil just back to pump with no resistance/load/pressure, and when steering wheel is keeping in end position then apears some sound from pump that looks like bypass valve in pump works
yes i do not have any complains about that, but if oil only flows through that valve when steering wheel is not move, oil would boil because it would bypass oil cooler, so my notice was that valve is used only when steering rack came to the end of travel, and sound of whole system changes in end position of steering wheel if you release presure on steering wheel sounds changes on less noise, wheels stay on turned position and oil comes through lines without any load and it rotates through system with low loss of energy until steering wheel started to move
@@makantahi3731 There's also a rotary valve on the rack that directs fluid flow in neutral and moving states. The valve is meant to prevent over-pressure in the system, whether from the pump itself or any restriction in the line. Fluids tend to increase in temperature when compressed, yes. A temporary recirculation of pressurized fluid will see an increase in temperature, but is negligible compared to the engine heat output.
yes this is main valve that direct oil flow, the valve in pump is only caution/overpresure/bypass valve that is not in function until pressure raises to max when rack is in end position and steering wheel is still on rotary force
i made ps flush before gearbox oil change(every 3 years or 25000km): i buy 10 litres of fluid , make ps flush and that oil leave 1 month to be still, and then collect clean and clear part of oil. and that oil use for gearbox because ps pump/rack is very sensitive thing and require clean oil, but gearbox makes small dirt after 5 minutes of working and is not so sensitive on dirt. on very first flush , oil could be very dirty so throw away first 5 litres when flush. because i make flush many times, oil from ps is very clean and it can be used for gearbox after being still for 1 month
So that's why it was making a terrible racket when I ran the engine without nearly enough fluid. Some foam in the reservoir too. Solved by letting it rest overnight and adding fluid.
@@speedkar99 I should have read the manual: 🚘Fill the reservoir to the bottom of the filler neck. 🚘Wait for any air to escape and top up again. 🚘 Without the engine running, turn from lock to lock two or three times, topping up to the maximum level on the dip reservoir stick. 🚘 Start the engine and immediately top up as air is vented. 🚘 With the engine idling, turn lock to lock two or three times, topping up to the maximum level on the reservoir dip stick. 🚘When no further change of fluid level occurs, run the engine for twenty minutes to vent any remaining air. 🚘 If possible, allow the vehicle to stand for thirty minutes before restarting the engine to vent any further air. 🚘 Note that air in the fluid can temporarily result in PAS pump noise, but this will not cause damage. The time allowances mentioned in the above procedures are to reduce the possibility of a customer collecting a vehicle while still subject to excessive pump noise.
One of THE best explanations as to how a mechanical device operates! YOU should be in a classroom - no question about it. Thanks, very enlightening.
+Michael Donavon alot of people tell me that. But I don't want to go to school, I want to learn by experience.
@@speedkar99 I believe he's talking about teaching.

Is the relief valve adjustable? Do you know generally how much psi or bar are most power steering rated for? I am thinking to use one to build a mini excavator.
They are interchangeable but not adjustable

I did tighten 1/2 turn the release valve securing screw to compress a little more the release valve spring. The steering it's lighter now but I wonder if it can damage something? Will there be overpressure when the steering is turned to lock on either side?

“My brother’s sock”😂 Very good video. 🙏
What is the purpose of oil pressure sensor, how does it work.
If i switch the lines and spin the pump in the wrong direction will it still work
No
Because of the valve
Very very good video, as the ,ajority of your videos. Thanks a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it
So is this for hydraulic power steering or electric? I'm guessing hydraulic
I wonder how stop leak would damage the power steering pump maybe just the blades cannot move in and out anymore for some reason they get stuck
The seals on the rack are more prone to damage.
Great video 👍 do you know what the different steering pump pressures are all about? There are different options for my car, from 120 bar to 131 bar, is the lower the number the heavier the steering? I need heavier steering ✌
More pressure means more boost.
On Camry for example, the SE pump has a different flow control valve than the LE/XLE models for different steering tuning.
@@speedkar99 thanks very much for reply, if I go for the the lower pressure pump will that give me heavier steering?
The high pressure switch you referred, what exactly is that? Help please
SO where does the noise come from when its worn?
what a nice briefing
Thanks
What would happen if the pump turned in reverse. Like if the belt was installed improperly?
There's no way you can put a belt on and get it to turn in reverse.
Regardless the pump would probably push fluid out the return hose
Great video!
Question
You mentioned there was a calibrated Spring But determines the flow
Is there a way to modify this mechanism to get more power steering
Yes

So that's why it was making a terrible racket when I ran the engine without nearly enough fluid. Some foam in the reservoir too. Solved by letting it rest overnight and adding fluid.
That sounds like it was running dry and air was getting inside the system. Check the o-rings
@@speedkar99 I was installing a replacement steering rack. Must have had a bit of air in the lines and in the rack.
@@speedkar99 I should have read the manual:
🚘Fill the reservoir to the bottom of the filler neck.
🚘Wait for any air to escape and top up again.
🚘 Without the engine running, turn from lock to lock two or
three times, topping up to the maximum level on the dip
reservoir stick.
🚘 Start the engine and immediately top up as air is vented.
🚘 With the engine idling, turn lock to lock two or three times, topping up to the maximum level on the reservoir dip stick.
🚘When no further change of fluid level occurs, run the engine for twenty minutes to vent any remaining air.
🚘 If possible, allow the vehicle to stand for thirty minutes before restarting the engine to vent any further air.
🚘 Note that air in the fluid can temporarily result in PAS pump noise, but this will not cause damage. The time allowances
mentioned in the above procedures are to reduce the possibility
of a customer collecting a vehicle while still subject to excessive pump noise.
